Why do we charge admission?

The NSW Government determines which public institutions charge admission fees. As a non-profit institution we need to self-generate over one third of our total revenue to meet our operating costs. If you would like to support us please consider becoming a Member and enjoying the many benefits this offers; buying a souvenir from our retail shop; or donating to the Australian Museum Foundation.
